Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated: April 18, 2026

This Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) describes the conduct that is permitted and prohibited on the Djinn Protocol. It supplements, and is incorporated by reference into, the Terms of Service. Violation of this AUP is a violation of the Terms.

Djinn is a decentralized protocol. Some of the rules below are enforced by smart contracts, some by the validator network, and some by the front end at djinn.gg. Enforcement tools available to Djinn Inc. at the front-end level do not extend to the on-chain contracts, which are permissionless by design. This does not make prohibited conduct allowed; it means that prohibited conduct is subject to law, community norms, and the enforcement mechanisms available to affected parties.

1. Permitted Conduct

On Djinn, you may:

  • Create signals reflecting your own genuine analysis of public or legally obtained information (public odds, public injury reports, public statistics, proprietary models, personal research)
  • Purchase signals that other Geniuses have published
  • Deposit and withdraw USDC collateral and platform balance through the protocol's documented smart contract functions
  • Publish your track record, write about your methodology, and promote your Genius profile, provided you do not misrepresent your performance or methodology
  • Run validators or miners on Bittensor Subnet 103 in good faith and in compliance with the subnet's technical and governance rules
  • Build third-party applications on top of the public Djinn API or the public contract interfaces, subject to the Terms and this AUP
  • Report security vulnerabilities responsibly (see Section 7 below)

2. Prohibited Conduct: Integrity

You may not use Djinn, directly or indirectly, to engage in conduct that corrupts the integrity of the information marketplace. Without limitation, you may not:

  • Wash-trade. You may not purchase your own signals, coordinate with another party to purchase your signals, or structure transactions with a primary purpose of inflating your track record, Quality Score, or visibility on the leaderboard.
  • Sybil and coordination. You may not operate multiple wallets, accounts, or identities to circumvent rate limits, evade enforcement, inflate your own track record, or manipulate audit outcomes. You may not coordinate with other users to manipulate Quality Scores or audit results.
  • Audit manipulation. You may not submit false outcomes to the outcome-voting process, bribe validators, or otherwise interfere with the settlement of audits.
  • Fake signal creation. You may not publish signals known to be baseless, random, or chosen to extract fees without intending genuine analytical content. This includes “signal farming” patterns designed to game the Quality Score formula rather than offer real analysis.
  • Impersonation. You may not impersonate another Genius, analyst, team, athlete, sportsbook, or Djinn team member.

3. Prohibited Conduct: Information Misuse

The following prohibitions apply to the creation and sale of information on Djinn's information marketplace. They do not describe anyone's downstream use of that information. Djinn is not a sportsbook and does not facilitate, intermediate, or process bets; these rules exist because monetizing stolen or privileged information is fraud regardless of whether the buyer ever places a wager.

You may not create or sell signals based on material non-public information (MNPI). This includes, without limitation, information obtained through privileged access to:

  • Teams, coaches, or team personnel
  • Players, agents, or families of players
  • Officiating bodies, referees, or umpires
  • Leagues, conferences, or governing bodies
  • Sportsbooks, odds-compiling firms, or liquidity providers
  • Medical staff, team doctors, training staff, or anyone with pre-public injury or fitness information
  • Government or law-enforcement sources that would not legally disclose the information to the public

You also may not attempt to obtain MNPI from these sources, pay for MNPI, or solicit MNPI from parties who may be under fiduciary or contractual duties not to disclose it.

4. Prohibited Conduct: Match-Fixing and Event Manipulation

You may not use Djinn in connection with any scheme to influence the outcome, pace, score, or material aspects of any sporting event. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Point-shaving, tanking, or spot-fixing
  • Bribing or paying athletes, coaches, officials, or team staff to influence an event
  • Working with a participant in an event to change its outcome or any component of its outcome
  • Using information about a pending fix to create or price signals

Match-fixing is a criminal offense in most jurisdictions. Djinn will cooperate with any legitimate criminal investigation into match-fixing identified through on-chain activity connected to the protocol, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

5. Prohibited Conduct: Financial Crime

You may not use Djinn to:

  • Launder money. Including structuring transactions to obscure the source, ownership, or destination of funds; layering deposits and withdrawals to disguise origin; or integrating proceeds of crime into the protocol balance.
  • Finance terrorism. Including providing material support to any person or entity designated as a terrorist or terrorist organization by any competent authority.
  • Evade sanctions. Including facilitating transactions involving persons, entities, or jurisdictions subject to comprehensive sanctions under U.S., U.N., E.U., or U.K. law, or acting on behalf of such persons or entities.
  • Commit fraud. Including deceiving other users about your identity, qualifications, track record, methodology, or the nature of a signal.
  • Engage in unlicensed regulated activity. Including operating a sportsbook, money services business, or securities brokerage out of Djinn without the authorizations your jurisdiction requires.

6. Prohibited Conduct: Protocol and Infrastructure

You may not:

  • Interfere with the operation of the smart contracts, the validator network, the miner network, or the djinn.gg front end, beyond the intended public interfaces
  • Run automated systems that intentionally degrade service for other users, including denial-of-service floods, spammy signal creation to consume validator capacity, or scraping at a rate that burdens our infrastructure
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble any component of the protocol for the purpose of exploiting it
  • Attempt to extract master seeds, Shamir shares, or any other secret material from validators, miners, or other users through technical, social, or legal means
  • Use the Djinn name, logo, or branding to suggest an endorsement, partnership, or affiliation that does not exist
  • Circumvent any geo-block, rate limit, or access control, including by using VPNs, proxies, or Tor to obscure your jurisdiction in order to access the service from a restricted location

7. Responsible Security Disclosure

Responsible security research is permitted and encouraged. If you discover a vulnerability:

  • Report it privately to security@djinn.gg before any public disclosure
  • Do not exploit the vulnerability beyond the minimum needed to demonstrate it
  • Do not withdraw funds that are not yours, and do not access data that is not yours
  • Give us a reasonable opportunity to investigate and remediate before publishing

Djinn will not pursue legal action for good-faith security research conducted in accordance with these principles. A formal bug-bounty program, with scope and payout tables, will be published before mainnet launch.

8. Content You Submit

Some features of Djinn (support messages, feedback, API requests) let you submit free-text content. You are solely responsible for what you submit. You may not submit content that:

  • Is illegal, defamatory, threatening, harassing, or fraudulent
  • Infringes another party's intellectual property rights
  • Contains malware or exploit payloads
  • Contains personal data of other individuals that you have no lawful basis to share

9. Enforcement

Enforcement of this AUP is tiered, reflecting the decentralized nature of the protocol:

  • Front-end restrictions. Djinn Inc. can restrict access to djinn.gg, the hosted API, and hosted support features for wallet addresses or network sources engaged in prohibited conduct.
  • Reputation and leaderboard. Signals, Geniuses, or patterns associated with prohibited conduct can be removed from the hosted leaderboard and search. The underlying on-chain data is immutable and will remain visible to any third party that indexes it.
  • Cooperation with authorities. Djinn Inc. will cooperate with valid legal process (subpoena, court order, or equivalent) to the extent required by applicable law.
  • Smart contract remediation. If a protocol upgrade can safely address an abuse pattern without harming innocent users, Djinn governance may consider such an upgrade. Upgrades follow the timelock process described in the Terms.

Djinn Inc. will generally not comment on individual enforcement actions. Enforcement is best-effort and is not a guarantee that no prohibited conduct will ever occur on the protocol.

10. Reporting Violations

If you believe another user is violating this AUP, please report it to abuse@djinn.gg. Include the wallet address, signal ID, transaction hash, or other identifying details you can provide, along with a description of the conduct. Please do not make public accusations without giving us a reasonable chance to investigate.

11. Changes

We may update this AUP from time to time. Material changes will be posted here with an updated date. Continued use of Djinn after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised AUP.
